Fun with Picasa

Ever since I started thinking about moving to Picasa for all my online photo album needs, I've spent a little time here and there playing with it.  One of the coolest (and scariest, if you're worried about Google using your tagging of people in photos in order to be able to use their facial recognition software to track where you are) features is its ability to pick out faces from your photos and group similar photos together so that you can more easily tag your photos (and then later on be able to easily find "that picture of aunt Bea and cousin John").


Even after tagging a whole lot of people, some of its guesses are funny-cute, like guessing that the 4 year-old version of Sarahmac is the 4 year-old Finn.  



And some guesses, coupled with the faces that it managed to pick out of the picture, are just odd, like thinking the Clone Wars-era Anakin might be me or Connor, or that Luke might be Sarah.
